Excellent New Product

The features on this smartwatch are first rate. The AMOLED display is very easy to read compared to the MIP display on the Fenix models. There is a small tradeoff in battery life with the new display. If you do not mind charging more frequently, the AMOLED display with its higher resolution, expansive color palette and brightness is well worth it.
The unit has essentially the same functionality as the new Fenix models and the same UI.

I really wish that this series came in a 51mm version. I have used a Fenix 6X Pro for several months and am very partial to the larger face. I ultimately returned the Epix and will stay with my 6X Pro until Garmin decides to offer a 51mm version. Come on Garmin-You can do it!

I liked the watch and wanted to keep it. But I ended up sending it back because it was too bright at night. On the lowest setting when the screen would wake up it would be bright.enought to wake me up.
I wish there was a way to dim it down even more.
I ended up sending it back. Unfortunately.

Love this watch!

I looked at both the Epix & Fenix 7S and despite wanting the smaller watch originally, I fell in love with the screen on the Epix. Once you see it, you won't be able to go back, especially given how great the battery life is.

Not sold on it yet.

I've had this watch since right after the release and haven't gotten to use it to its full potential but have used it alot. I am beyond irritated that the wrist heart sensor works maybe 2 hours a day with all of the measured sections added up, also with that if my watch is correct I've slept a total of maybe 20 hours since I've gotten this watch... kinda wishing I would have gotten a smart watch and bought a garmin GPS separately instead of dropping a grand for both in one.

First time Garmin watch owner

I’ve always been a mechanical watch person. Only smart watch I ever tried was Apple, but that didn’t last very long because charging every night was, and still is, a hassle IMHO.
I learned about the Fenix series a few years ago…Fenix 6 to be specific, and as tempted as all the features and battery life was, I didn’t dig the dull screen, especially in sapphire (which is the only way I’d get it). So I patiently waited after hearing rumors about the Fenix7 and got even more pumped when I heard there might be an AMOLED version.

The Epix2 solved my concerns. It’s got a great screen and battery life. With gesture on o(vs.always on), 1-2hrs workouts everyday (always on screen + full GPS), and sleep spo2 I’ve been getting @14days. I normally charge with @2-3day left and it takes approx 2hrs. For me the time between getting home and bed works out well, once every 11-12 days.
For a next Gen, I’d like to see a 51mm AMOLED with Solar/sapphire. The larger screen would make quick glances while working out even easier and the solar would improve, or at least maintain, battery life because of the larger AMOLED screen.
For now, my expensive mechanical watches have been put away for the foreseeable future. Anyone want to buy a Rolex or JLC?, LOL.
